Shameless self bump

Hello everyone!

I recently finished the Bogner Pre-Amp predal after alot of work and troubles.

So I have sound and thats awesome! But it's very low gain even when the pot is turned all the way up

Here is the data:
Used this video to measure voltage drop of Diodes

I'm by no means an expert in this and this is actually my 3th build ever.
I changed the J201 to 2n5457 and they had a substantial amount more gain but I didn't like their tone alot.

Could my batch of J201 just be faulty?

D1 @0.25v
D2 @0.25v
D3 @0.25v

Okay read through it. Thx will just buy one!

Thank you for the reactions. I value my life lol don't wanna f#$( around with such dangerous stuff.

Will prob buy 1 One-Spot

Can it handle 4 pedals daisy chained?

Hello everyone!

New here and recently started building my own pedals and I love it
Now I'm going crazy about those 9V batteries and I'd like to build my own power supply.
Doesn't have to be crazy, only needs to power around 4 pedals.

Are there any vero schematics available that I can use?
Searched around on google but found alot of different ways that they create those power supplies.

Components are no problem for me cus I have em at work haha

Thx!
